libbpf: Fix deduplication of typedef with base definitions

When deduplicating definitions for a module, typedef defined in the base
are not removed. This is because the hash used for base types differs
from the one used in the deduplication logic in btf_dedup_struct_type.

This was introduced by the referenced commit when moving the typedef
deduplication logic handling from btf_dedup_ref_type to
btf_dedup_struct_type, as this also changed the hash logic
(btf_hash_common to btf_hash_typedef).

This also impacts other types referencing those typedef (e.g. const). In
my test, the BTF section size of the openvswitch module went from 31KB
to 45KB.
